Happy Independence Day Malaysia!!! (pictures)

Early Merdeka(Independence Day) morning, my girls and I were up and we took the LRT to Masjid Jamek and walked the short distance it was to Dataran Merdeka, but even at 7 am, the place was thronging with hundreds or thousands of people who were all up and about with the same mindset my girls and I had... wanting to celebrate Merdeka there..

I was hoping to find myself a spot near the media place but I did not even know where it was and the crowd was just building even despite the slight drizzle there was...

Finally, I acquiesced and decided to just stand at a less crowded area which also eventually became just as crowded... bahhhh .. since we were there and standing behind the people who came earlier and later there was another crowd of inconsiderate people who just came and cut into a line in front...and refuse to budge even when the police told them to move back...

Anyway, it was a colourful event as usual...and though we missed some of the dances and so on which happened where his Majesty the Agung/King was and the ministers, we got to enjoy the parade.... here are some pictures, I will let the pictures tell the story..... enjoy ya....

Hope you enjoyed these unedited pictures I took via the Vivo V3 Max phone...Could not wait to share them so did not edit them...

During my 4 years stay in Malaysia, I've always looked forward to Merdaka day, besides the marches and other activities during the day and the fireworks, I usually looked forward to the sales and deals at the shops and restaurants, yes i love shopping and eating
